Grey body help

[Mew Turbo]

I just got a mesh body and someone made an applier that put on the skin I was using on the default SL body. Some people CAN see my skin normally but most people see GREY skin. It's not loading for most people and I don't know how to fix it. I need help. Is this a viewer issue? We discovered that the people that CAN'T see my skin are using the updated version of the Firestorm viewer. I'm so upset that most people can't see my skin :(

It is likely a bad skin. If some are seeing it and others are not, then it sounds like you have the BOM thing all worked out. A bad skin will rez intermittently and the only thing you can do is to attempt to rebake textures (note: this only works on system layer textures, not applier textures or attached items). To rebake, make sure you have the ADVANCED menu turned on (done through setting in most viewers) and in the menu at the top is "Rebake Textures" - doing this forces the region you're in to resample all your textures and rebake them, then send it back out to all other avatars in the region.

"Rebaking" or "Baking" textures is the LL Server taking all the textures of your different layered items and "flattening" all that into a single image, then presenting that image as the texture of your avatar to everyone else.

Note that this is a per region thing. So if you cross or TP to another region, you may have to do it again, though unlikely as the region will bake textures on entry.
